Nearly caught up

OK, most of the things that were worrying me about not being done have been done. Oh, and camping was great fun. I haven't been camping in about 30 years. I honestly wasn't looking forward to it, but when I actually got out there and started hanging out with my son, it was a joy.

I missed my deadline for getting the satire done. But then again, I have made good progress with my paper on optimization techniques for my exemplar-based genetic algorithm fitness function.

I've also received my AmigoBots at work, so I've been doing research on how to do simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) using nothing but the (notoriously noisy) sonar range finders on the little guys.
